Eid holiday is one of the most looked forward non-working holiday in Qatar. why not, there are only 3 public holidays that we can enjoy, First is the Al-Fitr, 2nd is what they called again Eid-Haj and 3rd is the Qatar Independence Day.
so far this is the 3rd time that I spent Ramadan season in this country and every year, there’s only one destination for working class, the beach! Its hard to believe how full resorts at this time especially the public beaches and since, this is a male dominated country, you can expect a ratio of 1:50 for man:woman, gosh, its tough to go swimming in long shorts (and sometimes trousers)…lol!
This year, I spent the holidays at my friend Mijie’s place. We ran out of ideas where to go so we decided on a day to day basis…First day, we went to a public beach in Al Khor and had grilled seafoods, stayed up to about 9:30am and transfered to a panoramic resort nearby.Check out this site : www.alsultanbeachresort.com. we freshened up a bit had some milkshakes, had some photo sessions and left for simaisma area. The sight was gloomy, it was almost a deserted place had i not see a camel…we did not bother to go out of the car and we headed home to get some sleep because we planned to go to sealine…
We continued eating our grilled fish and squid at home and took a rest. But sealine didnt push through, so we went to the Aspire Park and just had an idle moment at the benches until we called it a day and dropped agnes and joey home.
Second day was mostly spent sleeping but we went out late afternoon to check out the Museum of Islamic Arts, however we changed our minds and decided to go Sealine instead. But we got tired sick of long traffic so we cut short our trip and returned back to Doha and had some coffee instead.
Tomorrow, there’s a high possibility that we will spend the rest of the day in sleeping…inshallah!
